The Poudre Fire Authority is working over-time this summer, there's no doubt about that. This morning they were called to a Fort Collins dental office with reports of a possible explosion.

According to the Poudre Fire Authority the call came in early Friday morning. There was a report that there was a possible explosion and fire at the Comfort Dental building near Lemay and East Elizabeth in Fort Collins.

Crews reported that they found the one story, block building on fire. There was fire coming out of two windows on the street-side. Crews aggressively attacked the fire and were able to get it fully controlled within 30 minutes.
